Re: Movie Night 6 Brief Recap (with podcast link)

Yeah, that sux Possum. I've only been to three of the nights, but you were at all of them. It was awesome havin you...and thought you and Lon goin at it was pretty funny. Plus you were really nice. Do what you gotta do though.

Az...obviously I missed something, and don't really know what is goin on. I don't know you well, but have gathered you don't intentionally anger or piss people off. Sorry for what is happening, I know you put a lot of work into these nights.

Re: Movie Night 6 Brief Recap (with podcast link)

Oh, for cryin' out loud. This is ridiculous. Here I thought we were all adults, having a good time, watching movies and engaging in some friendly and humorous smack talk, and all of a sudden two people up and decide not to show up anymore? I'd hate to think something as simple as a mere misunderstanding of tone is all it takes to call it quits altogether.

We're adults, here, watching movies and having a good time. No need to be so sensitive. GS mentioned my and Pam's going at it above, but just for the sake of clarity, I dig Pam quite a bit and consider her a buddy. If I didn't, I wouldn't bust her balls so much.

That said, show up, don't show up, your all's choice. I'll be there with bells on, though, because I enjoy hanging out with you guys AND gals, and rapping about movies.

Re: Movie Night 6 Brief Recap (with podcast link)

This was all meant to be a joke. I never listened to any podcast, because being poked fun at doesn't make me upset. I don't find it offensive and frequently laugh at my self. I don't care, really, make fun I would probably find it funny too. How this comment is out of hand or offensive, when it is directed at myself, is beyond me????

Then I made fun of the boys, which, correct me if I'm wrong, I ALWAYS do. Again, thought we were all just joking around.

Then...I saw this post, where it appeared, that Aza was angry and calling me out, but I could be wrong and simply misunderstood what he was saying, so I simply posted a question asking if Aza was joking or serious. I believe the answer was somewhere along the lines of both....

Well if any part of this was serious, I was being openly and severely chastised for "randomly talking", which I thought we all did and was part of the usual process. I didn't care if it was taped or not, I just thought it was like any other movie night, and that is why later in the evening, prior to making a statement, I asked specifically if it was being taped, because I just assumed it was. I still don't know what I did that was so offensive to others, and that is why I won't attend anymore. I thought I was being a pretty good sport, not minding the recording and being poked at, only to find out I had pissed people off by talking too much. Hope that clears things up, sorry I offended people. Hope y'all enjoy quieter movie nights in the future, I really had no idea I was offending.

To the best of my knowledge, I have never had any disputes with any of you and Lon and I have been friends for a number of years.

It would have been nice though, if someone did have an issue with me, it could had been dealt with privately instead of posting it publicly and embarrassing and pretty much humiliating me in front of people. While I can take a lot of humor and be the target, when it comes to serious issues, I prefer to have them worked out in private so no one is hurt.

Holy monkey poo-poo, did this get out of hand.

Possum- it is Movie Night! Not random talking night. That is called the "Afterparty" section. If you want to have random talking night, set one up.

I was fairly sure that when I set this whole thing up everyone was clear that Movie Night was for us movie fans to watch a movie together and talk about it. Not so much deciding on what type of pizza to order or ask for tech help.

Was i somehow unclear on this, or does the word "Movie" confuse people?

Re: Movie Night 6 Brief Recap (with podcast link)

You may have missed it, but I got some bad news about my aunt, and I went a little cookoo for a bit. I handled the whole thing badly, and there is no excuse for me blasting out all over the boards. We'd like you to come back, you're fun and we like talking to you.

I apologize for taking things to a public where they should not have gone to.

Re: Movie Night 6 Brief Recap (with podcast link)

i agree with Lon . this is well out of proportion. i think everyone thought it was a joke , this movie night was no different from any of the others, we all rib each other and this is the first time anyone has taken offence. to be honest, and i hope i don't upset anyone or relight the flames that's not what i want to do, but this is what i honestly think and before anybody blows up, read the last sentenace of my message here. firstly i feel i contributed to this initialy by making you all wait and put you behind from the start because of the problems i had with my headset. i wish you had all started without me at the normal time. now i think zilla veered from joining in and being in the spirit of things to becoming a little paranoid and then coming back again and then going back and getting upset about the pod being put on the forum. ( a more feasible reason for being upset, but i know this wasn't done by az with malice, it was intended in good humour, i definitely know that) In Zilla's defence i know that she like a lot of us on here is not high on the self esteem level and feels hurt when she thinks people are taking " unwarranted swipes " at her. nobody was laughing at you Heidi, i have known AZ, and Lon for over two years now since i've been on this forum and neithier of them are like that, neithier is creature like that, we were all making a joke that we didn't dream would cause any offence.if it did then we all apologise because we all said things but none of it was meant in a bad way.now going on what Az said about pam was wrong, she didn't deserve that, nothing she had said or done warrented that, she obviously thought like me it was a movie night like any other and was doing what she always does, entertaining us . I hope she will forgive me when i say this but i know what she has to put up with at the moment at home and that is also unwarrented. i haven't known Pam as long as most on here because she didn't come on here that much when i joined although she has been a member for a while. since i have known her i liked her instantly, she is fine and she like some others on here has helped me and in some ways we suffer the same pain the same hurt. i know she is a lovely lady who i love dearly .yeah i know i must sound like the biggest fucking hypocrite out, me the one who you never know is going to come on here happy or sad, i'm far, far from being perfect, and i know what i am and dispise myself more than you will ever know but i don't care about me . i do care about many of you, i have found great consolation on here , because so far i have found many people on here i can identify with of both sexes. There are many friends on here for me i'm not going to name names i don't want to embarrass them but there are ladies on here and some ladies no longer on here that i am not ashamed to say and it proberly sounds pathetic but i have fallen in love with because they are beautiful not only outside but inside and that's what counts with me the inside becaus you can look the most stunning person on earth but you can be the ugliest bitch on earth inside and that's no good to me. none of you are like that. the blokes, they like me pose and make out they are macho but they are not, they have feelings, emotions it's what normal, proper, decent human beings do and the blokes on here are excellent examples of that.When one of us on here is sad, others give words of encouragement and sympathy, as we have all acknowledged that's what makes this site different from so many of the other horror sites, it's also full of people full of love and knowledge of the horror genre. let's keep it that way and forget this silly nonsense. the final sentenace is both Godzilla Rules and Azathoth have apologised sincerely and the way i feel about both of them has not changed, i regard both of them as friends and will continue to do so, i regard all of you people as friends, some they know who they are as more than that and that is true and straight from my heart. i am a lot of things but i am honest and say what i feel that is the one thing i will say for myself. Sorry this has gone on rambling far too long, i have friends outside here , far more than i deserve and i wish i could meet so many of you because there are so many great wonderful people on here who i regard as friends ( Whether they think the same of me i don't know and it don't matter to me because i don't like myself so why should anybody else?). end of lecture except to say " Let's end this shit and get back to what we are " The best all round fucking Horror Forum on the whole internet".

I only quoted this so you would get two chances to read it. And because I'm a douche.

Re: Movie Night 6 Brief Recap (with podcast link)

I think the Americans are upset because they are no longer used to reading anything longer than a 140 character twitter message or their Facebook status. No worry, we Canadians still understand polysyllabic words and the nuances of finely crafted prose. Haha
